extent size hints are an inode property, not a filesystem geometry
property.  xfs_info only queries the later, it knows nothing about
the former.

# xfs_io -c 'stat' </path/to/mnt>

will tell you what the default extent size hint that will be
inherited by newly created sub-directories and files
(fsxattr.extsize).
